Local store Premium Collectibles has become the preferred source within a year. They're very competitive given the poor exchange rates.Quote:

Loving all the extra faces and accessories MPs are coming with.
Now just hurry up TT and put out solicitations!
Those extra faces are cool!
I can't wait to see the finished product in hand.
I know I'll get this (I love my MPs) and I realise that it is exceptionally difficult when you are using an animal, but parts of it just irk me, such as the feet and elbows. I am being way too picky though.
I also kinda wish that the outside plastic in beast mode had an almost hair like feel to it. I think they are attempting that with the look of the paint but it would be great it it's not just a smooth plastic feel.
I don't think you're being too picky, I think they are legitimate criticisms.Quote:

I'm in the trukk not munky camp and wasn't that keen on this as it doesn't fit what I have until I saw that dancing munky pose. Now I'm officially on the fence for this!
One of the strengths of the original BW figures was the meticulous detail that they poured into sculpting features like fur, scales, feathers etc. I agree that it's a shame that this appears to be absent in the MP figure, but I think that it's because they're going for show-accuracy. So the surface of the beast mode is screen-accurately flat. We've seen the same approach being taken w/ G1 MPs, so it's not all that surprising.
